Pay attention, minions. Because Stephenie Meyer, author of Twilight, has just achieved god status.

I picked up this book after a long period of back-and-forth with the voices in my head. See, I’ve been rather dissapointed by recent vampire books and I was looking for something that would sink its teeth in and never let me go. Turns out, I found it in this book. I read all 498 pages of it yesterday and loved every word.

I don’t know why I was surprised that I loved it. Everything about it was delicious–from the cover art that hints at Eve offering Adam the temptation of the apple, to the star crossed romance of Edward and Bella, to the intense passion that veins its way through the entire book, with something as simple as a brief touch of finger to cheek. It was the best novel I’ve read in some time.

So good, in fact, that I yearn for a day when my daughter is old enough to delve into Edward and Bella’s world and be swept away by it. This is the stuff of dreams, minions.

In short, thumbs up. Not one thing irritated me about it–and there always seems to be something with me.

Buy it. Read it. Love it.
